What Is Holistic Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal health refers to the condition of the gums and bone that support the teeth. When bacteria accumulate around the gumline, inflammation begins. If this inflammation is not treated, it can progress from simple gum irritation to deeper infection that affects bone and tissue. Our holistic approach focuses on preventing and treating these issues in a way that supports full body wellness.
Understanding Periodontal Disease
Gum disease and periodontal disease are related but not identical conditions. Gum disease, also known as gingivitis, is the earliest stage. The gums may appear red, swollen, or bleed easily, yet at this point there is no loss of bone. Gingivitis is fully reversible when treated promptly.
Periodontal disease, also known as periodontitis, develops when inflammation spreads beneath the gums. The bone supporting the teeth begins to deteriorate, periodontal pockets deepen, and the damage becomes permanent. Periodontitis is not reversible, but it can be treated, stabilized, and managed with consistent care.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Our periodontal treatments address both infection and its connection to whole body wellness. We support the immune system, reduce inflammation naturally, and use only biocompatible materials. This holistic philosophy strengthens the link between gum health and total systemic balance.
Non Surgical Treatment Options
Through ultrasonic scaling, targeted deep cleanings, and localized antimicrobial therapy, we remove harmful bacteria without invasive procedures. This approach reduces discomfort, preserves healthy tissue, and encourages natural healing.
Surgical Treatment for Advanced Cases
When periodontal disease has progressed to more advanced stages, surgical care may be needed to rebuild and protect the supporting structures of the teeth. Dr. Barreto plans every procedure with precision, using minimally invasive techniques that promote comfort and long term stability.
Is Periodontal Treatment Right for You
Periodontal care may be appropriate if you have been diagnosed with gingivitis or periodontitis, or if your gums show signs of ongoing inflammation. Patients who experience deep periodontal pockets, persistent infection, or early changes in bone support often benefit from a holistic approach that restores balance to the gums and supporting tissues. A personalized evaluation will determine the most effective path to protect your long term oral health.
